Question No. 872 Hon. Hedy Fry: With regard to emergency preparedness at the Department of Public Safety and the decision by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to develop four additional nuclear reactors at the Darlington Nuclear Power Generation Station: (a) what are the plans in the event of a nuclear accident at Darlington for (i) communication to radioactive-affected areas, (ii) evacuation to specified and alternative areas in the event of changes in wind directions, (iii) immediate health care to evacuees, (iv) immediate protection for emergency workers, (v) patients already in hospital who would need to be evacuated outside the affected zone, (vi) accurate and timely information to the media; (b) what are the plans for ameliorati ...[+++]ve distribution of iodine tablets; (c) what immediate protective measures will be promoted and how will information about these measures be communicated; (d) what is the replacement source of power in the event that the accident eliminates the use of the Darlington nuclear reactors; (e) what are the plans to ensure access to uncontaminated food sources and distribution channels; (f) have emergency workers been trained in the handling of radioactive material and actions within radiation contaminated areas; (g) where will additional emergency workers be drawn from and what arrangements will be made to register all workers and follow their radiation exposure levels; (h) what are the plans to measure soil and plant contamination and what is the baseline radioactivity in the biosphere in the 100 kilometre zone around Darlington; (i) will all potential victims of an accident be registered, including their locations at the time of the accident, and will there be epidemiological studies of subsequent effects; and (j) what are the plans to provide support to evacuees including (i) mental health care, (ii) finding re-employment for those whose jobs have been lost, (iii) redirecting the expertise of the nuclear power plant workers, ( ...

An arbitrary datum defined by an authority of a local harbour, from which levels and tidal heights are measured by that authority.

The average height of the sea at a tide station measured from a fixed predetermined reference level.

The baseline must be denominated from a known emission level, which is sometimes called the historic year, and not a hypothetical future year.

It further recommends that, under this system, special attention should be paid to ways of keeping the population adequately informed and of responding to public anxieties. As regards existing buildings: - a reference level should be fixed above which simple but effective measures for the reduction of the level of radon will be envisaged; - this reference level should correspond to an effective dose equivalent of 20 mSv a year; - ...[+++] the degree of urgency attached to the implementation of corrective measures should take account of the extent to which the reference level has been exceeded; - whenever corrective measures are considered necessary, the population should be informed of the levels of radon to which it is exposed and of the solutions whereby such levels can be reduced.
